    The #Blazers No. 10 pick could very well be in this group. In so many ways, this is the most important workout thus far. #AdamsGobertLedo

    McLemore, Oladipo, and Porter were in Cleveland yesterday working out. No one distinguished themselves. More confident Cavs go big or trade.

    Dallas pick is available and Cavs appear to have parameters of a deal in place to move up from 19 for it. Target is Sergey Karasev.

    At 7-2 Rudy Gobert has one of the largest wingspans recorded at 7'9. With hands up, he's a shade over 10ft. That should translate to blocks!

    If that is true, I just lost all hope in Ole' as a GM.

    Because of his crazy long wingspan, Rudy Gobert might just have the highest release point of a jumper I've ever seen. #Blazers

    Steven Adams says this is the third time he's gone head-to-head against Rudy Gobert, calls him a 'large human being' #RipCityDraft

    Gobert says he's at 237 lbs right now but expects to be up to 250 by the time October rolls around #RipCityDraft

    Glad to see they are giving these guys a good look. I still hope they could pick up an extra pick to get them later in the draft.

    As @Bigredrig05 has been telling me, Steven Adams is quite the cheeky guy. Doesn't think his personality is special, just him being "Kiwi"

    If you believe that then you have to take Adams, right?

    I'm not sure I believe it though.

    Rudy Gobert says he relishes blocking shots. Says he believes he's the best defensive big man in this draft class and Nicolas Batum agrees.

    1.9 blocks in 22 min/game against weak competition is not stellar. He may be at some point, but being a good defender involves legs and footwork too.

    Asked Nic if Gobert good pick at 10: He can be, yeah. We don't have a lot of guys like that in basketball. That tall and can protect the rim

    Chris Haynes ‏@ChrisBHaynes 1m
    Gobert says he's hearing he could be drafted anywhere 7-21. He believes he can contribute immediately but says starting might take a season.
